newby with some questions/troubles
Hey everyone,
I'm kinda new to smoking although I did try it earlier. A friend of mine had a pack of Lucky Strikes (not quit light cigs.) an gave one to me to try it out. I liked the taste of the smoke in my mouth but when it reached my throat/lungs I started coughing. Every puff i took after came out coughing ...
Many of my friends smoke, and I would like to do it to but not if I keep on coughing every time :-(
So I typed in 'Start to smoke' on Google, and I was impressed how many sites there are on the subject. I found this site, read the 'how to' tut. and figured it might work.
Tomorrow i'm going to buy some light cigs to begin with (it will probably go better with those than with the Lucky's). I'm also a little older than the last time I tried smoking and my lungs got used to smoke because I smoke waterpipe quiet often now.
(I will let you all know how the first (real) smokinginitiation went tomorrownight)
One of the major problems is that I still live with my parents. If they figure out that I smoke, I'm screwed, so I can only smoke when whether they are gone or whether i'm off to friends :-(
If someone have some tips to take a good start or solve the parental problem .. Just shoot :-D
Peace!
P.s. I don't know if I need to mentione it, but I do smoke some cigars and cigarillos, although not inhaling the smoke in my lungs, anyway, I do like those a lot!!

Still some troubles :-(
Just tried the lights, but still coughing all the time. I even got nauseous after some inhalings this time :-s
Should I just go on and ignore the coughing, or is this an indication to stop?
Recommendations to help Newby
I recommend you try menthol light cigarettes which is also recommended on this site for beginning smokers. Your cough will go away with menthols because it cools your mouth an lungs and eliminates the harshness. The cough may also be the result of a techinque problem that most beginners must learn to correct with practice. Take a long slow drag while simutaniously forcing air out your nose to completely empty your lungs, then open your mouth and rapidly inhale thru your mouth all the smoke in your mouth to completely fill your lungs very deeply with mentholated smoke. Try to hold the inhaled menthol smoke a few seconds then exhale thru your nose very slowly.
No more caugh! You may need to practice this several times to get it perfect then it will just come naturally.
Avoid quick shallow inhales which promote coughing.
Newport and Salem are good menthols to try.
Your choice of Lucky Strikes is extreemly harsh to smoke and may cause nauseous the first few times.
You should not be concerned about addiction if you just wish to smoke for pleasure or when you feel the need to relax in a way that only a cigarette can provide.
Good luck!

Worked perfectly with the menthols, smoking as a chimney now :D
Even tried shag and liked this even more than regular cigarettes.
